There is apparently no need to use two news servers, because they
seem to be identical (according to the debug log).

This news server software claims that you can post when you connect (the
"200" reply). fetchnews then sends a "MODE READER" command to be sure,
and suddenly the upstream server responds with "201" (which means that you
are not allowed to post). There is no fix for this except patching the source
code of Leafnode. The following patch might work:
--- fetchnews.c.orig Fri Feb 18 18:48:33 2000
+++ fetchnews.c Fri Feb 18 18:49:07 2000

if ( reply == 498 )
syslog( LOG_INFO, "Connection refused by %s",
current_server->name );
but it may give you problems if your server expects an username and
password.
